As a solar energy user, you'll find you become much more aware of when and how you use electricity. Some lifestyle changes may be necessary to make solar power efficient. Since you no longer have an unlimited source of electricity, the majority of your energy must be used during the daylight hours.
To get the most out of your solar electric system, you'll want to choose the right appliances and use them wisely. Your APS Solar Electric Service® representative can help you plan an energy budget to maximize your energy efficiency.
To help you imagine what it's like to own a solar electric system, here's a typical energy-use plan for an APS Solar Electric Service® customer:
During Daylight Hours
| Operate no more than one major appliance at a time: |
- Run dishwasher
- Do laundry
- Run vacuum
- Use microwave
- Pump water
